The Possibility Of q New Kailroa

The Possibility Of q New Railroad.
Last Monday there were four travellers
came in town, having a conveyance of their
own. They were said to have come from
Cherry Creek, or the neighborhood of
that place. They went about their bust
ness quietly, paid their way in town, and
appeared to be full of business, but had
very little to say. From what informa-
tion could be gained they were supposed to
be in the employ of the Chicago, Burling-
ton & Quincy Railroad Company, who
have been viewing the country for the
purpose of asceriaining where can be
found the most eligible passes through the
mountains. They were furnished with a
camping outfit, but no surveying instru-
ments were thrown in sight. One of the
party is reported to have offered to bet
that there would be a new railroad pass
ten miles north of Eureka within two years
from low. One of the party said to our
reporter that there would be no main line
through Eureka, that a trunk line would
connect at this place, but no definite in
formation could be given that would be
useful to the public at present. One of the
party left here by train on Wednesday,
| and the others by their own conveyance on
| the same day. While we sincerely wish
| that we shall be blessed with additional
| railroad facilities in the near future, and
| would assist such an enterprise all that
lies in the power Of the SENTINEL to do, we
are not anxious to plant false hopes in the
breast of the public. Our visitors may be
| only prospectors in search of hidden
treasures, of which our neighboring hills
are full, but as yet only in the infancy OF
| development,

A SAD DEATH.
Hon. Mrs. Samuel Llddle's Sick.
mesa and Death-Her Funeral.

SSD
A week ago yesterday Hon. Samuel
Liddle end his family came over from
White Pine en- route to California, and
last Monday the former, accompanied by
his oldest son, left for San Francisco, in
tending to go from there to Paso Robes
and prepare a home for his wife, whom he
left at the jackson House too sick to
proceed on the journey, but it was not
known then that she was dangerously i'll.
Her sickness was acute inflammation of the
stomach, and shortly after midday on
Tuesday a change took place for the worse,
and after great suffering, at a quarter to
10 o'clock of that night she died. DR..
Theile had been attending the lady, but
was discharged, and Drs, Owen and Will
Jams were called in at almost the last mo-
ment in consultation, but too late to offer
either advice or assistance. As soon as it
was known that Mrs. Liddle was dying, A.
Jackson telegraphed to her husband to
return. The telegram reached him at
Wadsworth, and he continued his journey
to Reno, where he awaited the first east
ward bound train to return here. At
wife's death, and from there he hired a
special train, after learning by telegraph
from Mr.. jackson that the body could not
be kept long, and arrived at Eureka about
half past 8 o'clock on Thursday morning.
1t was a sad thing. The only relative at
the lady's bedside was her youngest child,
a bright little boy of about 10 years old
whose attention to, and affection for his
dying mother was exceptional. He seemed
to anticipate her every want, and exhib-
tied the most profound sorrow for, his
demised parent. Everything that could
be was done for the comfort of the lady
during her sickness while at the jackson
House, not only by Mrs. Jackson, but by
| other lady friends in Eureka also, and for
this the bsreaved husband feels deeply
| grateful. Mrs. Liddle was a native of
| Genesee, Livingston county, n. Y. She
| visited her uncle Thomas Plane, who
| ranched on White River, and was married
in 1874. She leaves her husband and two
| little sons to mourn her loss. The services
| were held in the Jackson House parlor by
| Rev. H. H. Buck, under the auspices of
| the Episcopal Church, of which she was a
| member, and from there the funeral took
place. The remains were placed in an
| elegant casket, and laid to rest in Hubs
| Cemetery. The pail bearers were mem
| bers chosen from the lodges of the Free
| Masons and Odd Fellows, of which societies
| Mr.. Liddle is a member in good standing. In
| the funeral cortege were many representa-
| tives of these lodges and numbers of our
leading citizens in carriages. The deceased
was held in great esteem by her many
| friends in White Pine county. May she
| rest in peaco,

J. r. Wilmington of obtaining money I'M
der false pretenses, pending in White Pine
county, which was argued before Judge
Fitzgerald at Eureka on the LIST inst, the
Judge announced to the attorneys on last
Thursday that he was ready to decide the
demurrer to the indictment. He said that
he had given the matter great study, and
attention, and had examined the various
briefs filed, and his conclusion was that
the indictment is sufficient, and that the
demurrer should be overruled. How.
ever, as counsel for defendant desired an
opportunity to further argue the case
orally, it was stipulated that the case be
continued for the November term, ard that
further oral argument be had as Eureka
some time before December 20, 1887, if
counsel for defendant so desire.
This case is one of Importance, as shown
by the number of attorneys engaged: Dis.
